Question
Stomach
Hello, My name is Jennessa I am 19, thanks for taking the time to read this first of all...
So I have been on the depo shot for let's see... A year and 4 months-ish.
I am always a few days early to my shots, I am extremely cautious...
I've had no side effects of depo such as weight gain, or cramping until just this July.
I felt a very faint butterfly type feeling on my right side, fairly often, and it is unexplainable. I've put on 7ish ponds since early July, (which is not normal for me I am naturally petite). My stomach seems to be getting most of the fat, above my hips.
I took 2 home tests in July they read negative. I had my doctor give me one before I got my shot again in mid July. Negative. Had a blood test, negative.
But the unexplained tingly almost tickling feeling along with the weight gain is just really bizarre and has me really worried. I spotted (not normal since the shot) for like 2 days... My stomach has also be sensitive to the touch since late June, before I was worried about this.
I know what the chances are, I just feel like there is something going on here?
AnswerHi Jennessa,
I think something is going on, but I'm pretty sure it's not pregnancy. Could it be from stress? The depo shot if highly effective, and your tests are negative, plus a butterfly feeling is generally not an early sign of pregnancy. I hope that you and your doctor can figure out what is causing it. Sorry that I can't.
